    AutoCAD OEM

    I've just received a demo version of AutoCAD OEM. Since there is no
    newsgroup avaiable for this product I thought I'd try here for a little
    info. I see that MSVC++ is a software requirement which leads me to believe
    that it can only be used with ObjectARX.

    But I do see in the documentation that apps can be ported from all other
    API's. Does this mean they have to be rewritten using ObjectARX?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Last time I checked, MSVC++ is a requirement. That is because
    all DLLs and ARX libraries and other forms of customization that
    you supply with the deliverable, must be 'branded', in order for
    them to be usable. That is done to prevent the end user of the
    product from loading and running their own customization (of any
    kind, including LISP, VBA, and so on).

    Of course, you can port any kind of customization to ObjectARX,
    but that's going to require reasonble experience with it.
